Cliven Bundy has filed what Gawker calls a "completely bonkers" lawsuit against President Obama, Harry Reid, Reid's son, and a federal judge. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the 70-year-old Bundy is seeking more than $50 million in damages and his prompt release from custody for various alleged violations of his constitutional rights. The lawsuit filed Tuesday claims Reid used "federal storm-troopers" against Bundy and his "peaceful cowboys" during a 2014 standoff in Nevada over grazing fees, NBC News reports. Joel Hansen, Bundy's attorney, says his client's prosecution is a clear "misuse of power" by Obama and Reid. "He hasn't agreed with the politics of the day," Hansen tells the Review-Journal. "He said some things that are politically incorrect."

The lawsuit also claims Reid and Obama have been insulting Bundy publicly—specifically pointing to some jokes Obama made at the 2014 White House Correspondents' Dinner—in order to take his ranch from him in an "under-the-table negotiated deal." Obama and Reid would then sell Bundy's ranch to "communist Chinese" for "profit and/or kickbacks," according to the lawsuit. Gawker points out the lawsuit also includes a number of debunked conspiracy theories regarding Reid's family. In discussing the lawsuit and Bundy's plight, Hansen compared his client to Nelson Mandela. A federal prosecutor has called Bundy's claims "offensive" and "outrageous"; Reid's office prefers "baseless and absurd."

BIG-O stated that? THAT has got to be the stupidest thing ever and Bundy can use that as proof in a legal case since it was stated by a Countries Leader - The President of the United States. will the Defended approach the stand - B. OBAMA is B. OBAMA present? No? The default judgement is hereby entered for the plaintiff(s)..
